The morning had been consistently wet and miserable, so I was delighted that there were 10 of us when we set off on our afternoon walk.

We made a short detour, which actually adds nearly half an hour to the walk, to the Parc Solvay to admire the beautiful roses. But they weren't out. However, fortune was with us and after winning the mighty climb up the parc's steep hill we were met by a glorious display of azaleas and rhododendrons.

The parc is also hosting a collection of modern art: pictured is an impressive gold and silver iceberg!

We met today at a new parking spot in Tervuren. It was pleasant for walking even with a very light drizzle from time to time. The walk passed through the communes of Tervuren, up to Duisburg and back down Vossem where we followed the Voer back into the park. Sheila and her group were already at The Spanish House Café when we arrived for our coffee.
